I'm at SC09 this week.  Awesome hardware, awesome people.  The
Top500 for the month was announced, Linux runs on 446+ of them,
no surprise there.

What is a surprise is the nonappearance of Scientific Linux on
this list:

I would assume SL would be running on many, if not most, of the
big iron X86 array systems.  I would also assume more celebrity
SL deployments means more funding for our heros at Fermi.  Is
this a "don't ask, don't tell" thing?
